Navy Pays Lost Profits For Misappropriating FSS Contractor's Data

In Data Enterprises of the Northwest v. GSA, GSBCA No. 1560 (Feb. 4, 2004), the GSBCA determined that the Navy had breached its FSS contract with a supplier of commercial software when it used the contractor's proprietary software documentation and data dictionary to develop competing software. The board granted the contractor lost profits on contract sales of its commercial software that it would have made absent the breach, through 2006.
